Beersheba Centenary Edition by Paul Daley Pdf

"A hundred years ago in October 1917 members of the 4th Australian Light Horse Brigade participated in what is now regarded as the last great successful cavalry charge. Waving bayonets overhead in the dying light, they raced across six kilometres of exposed ground in Palestine, surprising the well-entrenched Turks. It was the decisive blow in the British capture of the strategic stronghold of Beersheba. The story of this remarkable military victory has largely slipped through the cracks of history, eclipsed in Australian sentiment by stories of dramatic defeat and loss at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Paul Daley goes in search of the story of Beersheba. What he uncovers is a story of ordinary men capable of extraordinary acts, as he sheds new light on a dark episode starkly at odds with the Anzac mythology."

ANZAC Soldier vs Ottoman Soldier by Si Sheppard Pdf

In 1915–18, ANZAC and Ottoman soldiers clashed on numerous battlefields, from Gallipoli to Jerusalem. This illustrated study investigates the two sides' fighting men. The Gallipoli campaign of 1915–16 pitched the Australian and New Zealand volunteers known as the ANZACs into a series of desperate battles with the Ottoman soldiers defending their homeland. In August 1915, the bitter struggle for the high ground known as Chunuk Bair saw the peak change hands as the Allies sought to overcome the stalemate that set in following the landings in April. The ANZACs also played a key part in the battle of Lone Pine, intended to divert Ottoman attention away from the bid to seize Chunuk Bair. The Gallipoli campaign ended in Allied evacuation in the opening days of 1916. Thereafter, many ANZAC units remained in the Middle East and played a decisive role in the Allies' hard-fought advance through Palestine that finally forced the Turks to the peace table. The fateful battle of Beersheba in October 1917 pitted Australian mounted infantry against Ottoman foot soldiers as the Allies moved on Jerusalem. In this book, noted military historian Si Sheppard examines the fighting men on both sides who fought at Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair and Beersheba. The authoritative text is supported by specially commissioned artwork and mapping plus carefully chosen archive photographs.

Victory! by Jill Curry Pdf

The ANZAC soldiers' successes remain largely overshadowed by the lives lost at Gallipoli and on the Western Front. The ANZAC breakthrough at Beersheba on October 31, 1917 was the pivotal event that turned the tide of the Middle Eastern Campaign that ultimately defeated the same Turkish armies that had annihilated them in Gallipoli. We remember our losses; now let's commemorate the centenary of the ANZAC victories of 1916-1918.

Beersheba by Paul Daley Pdf

The Battle of Beersheba, a redeeming win for the ANZACs who lost at Gallipoli, has slipped through the cracks of Australia's historical consciousness. Why are Australians so much more content to commemmorate a glorious defeat than we are to celebrate such a resounding, against the odds, victory?

Transnational Tourism Experiences at Gallipoli by Jim McKay Pdf

This book offers a fresh account of the Anzac myth and the bittersweet emotional experience of Gallipoli tourists. Challenging the straightforward view of the Anzac obsession as a kind of nationalistic military Halloween, it shows how transnational developments in tourism and commemoration have created the conditions for a complex, dissonant emotional experience of sadness, humility, anger, pride and empathy among Anzac tourists. Drawing on the in-depth testimonies of travellers from Australia and New Zealand, McKay shines a new and more complex light on the history and cultural politics of the Anzac myth. As well as making a ground breaking, empirically-based intervention into the culture wars, this book offers new insights into the global memory boom and transnational developments in backpacker tourism, sports tourism and “dark” or “dissonant” tourism.

""This is the story of a war within a war-of a struggle smothered away from the light of day, a long-drawn-out and ruthless campaign of brain versus brain.

Riding Into History : Beersheba 100 Years on by Barry Rodgers Pdf

In October 2017, 175 members of the Australian Light Horse Association (ALHA), many of whom were direct descendants of WW1 troopers, followed in the steps of their forebears. The four countries visited included Egypt where in the shadow of the pyramids we saw where the ALH completed their final training. In Turkey we reflected on the ANZAC tragedy of the Nek and paid homage at Lone Pine at Gallipoli. Then finally, in Israel and Jordan, we rode and walked where the Light Horsemen covered themselves in glory, culminating in the great charges at Beersheba and later at Semakh. Their sacrifices, along with the hardships they faced, are incomparable. Nevertheless we faced our own challenges in completing our pilgrimage; Yet, just as it was a century earlier, the triumphs outweighed the trials.

The ANZAC Call by Jill Curry Pdf

The ANZAC victory at Beersheba on October 31, 1917, was not only the pivotal event that changed the tide of history for the Middle East but also the key that propelled biblical prophecy into a new era. God used the daring and adventurous spirit of the ANZACs to bring the ultimate breakthrough that turned the course of the Middle Eastern campaign and paved the way for the re-gathering of the Jews, the re-establishment of the nation of Israel and the preparation for Jesus' return as King. The ANZAC Call is going forth for the nation and the church to celebrate the centenary of this event, which also occurs on the 500th anniversary of Luther's challenge to the church that led to the Protestant Reformation. We have remembered our ANZAC losses; now let's celebrate our ANZAC victories!Will a new army of spiritual Anzac warriors arise to take up the challenge to complete spiritually what our ANZAC forefathers began physically and initiate a new reformation? Our nations' destiny is at stake.

In Bad Faith by Dassi Erlich Pdf

This powerful memoir gives extraordinary insight into a secretive sect, and the horror Dassi Erlich had to survive. Dassi's resilience and fight for justice is inspiring. As a young girl growing up in a strict ultra-Orthodox family, Dassi's life was preordained - marry young, live a devout life and raise children within the Adass community's religious rules. This righteous path would keep her safe from the immodest, secular world just a few blocks away in suburban Melbourne. But the Adass community was not safe for Dassi. She was fifteen when her revered school principal, Malka Leifer, started to single her out. Dassi's cloistered and harsh upbringing meant she didn't have the words for what was happening to her, but she knew it was very, very wrong. It would take her years to break free of the secrecy which pervaded the community and tell the police of her betrayal. And only then would she find out others, including two of her sisters, had also been abused, and would learn some in the Adass community had helped Leifer flee to Israel. With the only world she knew crumbling around her, Dassi found the strength to fight, leading a brave fifteen-year campaign to bring Leifer back to face Australian courts. This is Dassi's story. 'I am a sexual abuse survivor, but I am also more than a survivor. I will continue fighting for justice for all victims.'

Diary of a Lady's Maid by Emma Southgate Pdf

A very busy day. Lord and Lady Carrington arrived from England. Miss Harbord, 3 Gentlemen in Suite, 3 children, two nurses, two maids, 2 valets. Every room occupied. 47 to dinner-in State dining room-and 500 in the evening. All went off capitally. We got to bed soon after 2 a.m.' The reliable, hard-working and loyal Emma Southgate began her diary when she journeyed across rough seas and under stormy skies from England to Australia in 1884. She travelled as lady's maid to Lady Loch, wife of the newly appointed Governor of Victoria. When they arrived in Melbourne and took up residence in the magnificent Government House, Emma had the presence of mind to continue her record of daily life. The legacy of her diligence is published here for the first time. Through Emma's words we can relive the halcyon days of colonial times: sumptuous parties in elegant ballrooms and receptions on rolling lawns; stylish travel through the colonies of Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia; holidays in a grand home at Mount Macedon; important international visitors; and the social whirl that accompanied occasions such as Melbourne Cup week. These events are charmingly described in Emma's diaries from a behind-the-scenes point of view-the weariness of having to serve tea to thousands of 'ladies and gentlemen', visits to the poor and excursions to the beach, illnesses among staff and the kindnesses of her employers. Emma's authentic evocation of her life sparkles. Unpretentious and forthright, Emma's words captivate the reader as they bring to life the people, the places and the times. Besides Emma's accounts, Helen Vellacott has placed the newspaper reports of the day that show the official view-often quite different from Emma's observations. In this way, and with intriguing additional comment and information, Diary of a Lady's Maid gives us an insight into early Australian society.

Defending Gallipoli by Harvey Broadbent Pdf

Based on exclusive access to Turkish archives, Defending Gallipoli reveals how the Turks reacted and defended Gallipoli. Author and Turkish language expert Harvey Broadbent spent five years translating everything from official records to soldiers' personal diaries and letters to unearth the Turkish story. It is chilling and revealing to see this famous battle in Australian history through the 'enemy' lens. The book commences with a jihad, which sees the soldiers fighting for country and God together. But it also humanises the Turkish soldiers, naming them, revealing their emotions, and ultimately shows how the Allies totally misunderstood and underestimated them Defending Gallipoli fills a huge gap in the history of the Gallipoli campaign.
